Ash's pov:
His mama used to tell him not to hit. The school councillor said it was abusive. But they aren’t around anymore.Now if his little daughter pissed him off, she got what was coming to her. He used to be careful not to leave the bruises where they would show the next day. And he used to be careful to ‘apologize’ enough in the morning so she wouldn't leave and go to her mother or go telling her friends.
